The Most Chilling Artwork by Edvard Munch

[@skellybean8659]

Edvard Munch said my favorite quote of all time “From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.”

[@andiemorgan961]

The scream is said to be a result of two coinciding events. The red sky appeared one day because of the volcanic eruption of Krakatoa. The scream face was inspired by a Peruvian mummy that went around exhibitions at the time, eternalized in a pose where she held her head in her hands, her mouth locked open as if in a tormenting scream.

[@_nenju]

Munch saw that mummy after he painted the scream

[@camellification]

"The scream" was painted after a major anxiety-attac after being on a heavy binge.

[@haileymclaughlin3961]

I used to volunteer for the Getty Museum, which has Munch’s version of Starry Night. Me and the other volunteers were being led by a staff member in a mindfulness meditation exercise and were told to quietly contemplate the painting and analyze the shapes, colors, movement, et cet, but we were also told to divorce the painting from its artist and to only to only rely on our own interpretation of what we were seeing. I was one of the few volunteers who had studied art history and had written a paper on munch and was well informed of his depression, mental Illness, personal life, and life in Europe in the early 20th century effected his art. I was struggling with my own mental health at the time and all I could interpret from the painting was that it barely seemed finished; compared to his other works the brush work was haphazard and thin, the painting felt unrendered. All I could think of was that he was so depressed and struggled with so much with anxiety that he didn’t feel like he could finish it, because what would’ve been the point? I was going through similar feelings myself and had to leave the gallery because I started sobbing, and when I returned the lecture he ended but as soon as I saw the instructors I started sobbing again. They pulled me aside and talked with me and I told them the above: that I couldn’t divorce the context of Munch’s painting from my own interpretation because I could recognize an artists work that was bound by the limitations of despair. After listening to me the instructor said that I did the exercise precisely as it was meant to be done, and asked if she could use my experience in her PHD. So ya not to brag but my art history induced anxiety attack is in an academic document somewhere.

I really appreciate His willingness to lean into the "Unpopular feelings" that Modern Society Invokes inside us. Feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, uncomfortable. Modern Society is overwhelming and filled with anxiety. Not everyone can succeed, and our world sure seems like it demands that "you succeed" or you fail. You won't get a place to live, you won't get happiness, relaxation, love. If you don't succeed in this current Society you'll be homeless, alone, & uncomfortable.

[@SamuelBlack84]

Society is just a large group of people that decides how everyone should live. They have no overwhelming right to dictate how we live our lives, that right belongs to the individual Conformity is terrified of difference, new ideas. Those they deem freaks are relegated to the dark and the cold on the outskirts of normality

Oh man, my country finally represented! My favorite is his "self-portrait in hell". Edit; "The scream" can also be interpreted as nature itself screaming, while the figure is covering it's ears in sheer terror. It was painted around the same time as a volcanic eruption which affected a lot of earths ecology, making the evening blood red in Norway, making it terrifying to behold. Also, Munch wrote on the scream (it's a bit hidden) "this must have been painted by a madman!"

I visited Bergen a couple of years ago and my flight there took place during sunset and it was magical, at one point in the journey the sky on the horizon turned the most vibrant scarlet I have ever seen in my life. I have so many pictures of the colours of the sky and strange cloud formations I saw on the plane, I was also reading the Books of Enoch at the time which is all biblical surrealist imagery and it was a well matched combination.

I look at my poster of the Scream everyday when I drink my coffee in the morning. Sets an appropriate tone for the day. The Scream is also an awesome album (their debut) by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

[@Vanitasmortedigital]

So glad you have shared your take and insights into the darkly human art of Edvard Munch(you pronounce his name really well by the way).The scream is a really iconic artwork and resonates on many levels with people when they view it.I have always found his art profoundly human,achingly so,I love how he draws us in by his figures looking out directly at us,do we become part of what he is portraying,causing us to reflect back with our own human experiemces.Back in the day I recall an exhibition of The entire Frieze Of Life series I think at the Royal Academy,on all posters and adverts they had a disclaimer/warning saying if you suffer with acute depression or anxiety or long term mental health it may be triggering to view this exhibition.This was tagged onto other exhibitions of his work.I have always felt an affinity to Munch's art,a sense of recognition.I don't find his work depressing,more reflective and meditative,he shows humanity in an honest visceral and stripped down way,a raw humanity.In a strange way his art to me is also strangely life affirming.I always felt Much was deeply In touch with himself on all levels and it found visual form in his darkly beautiful paintings,and causes us to achieve the same.Edvard mirrors humanity back onto the viewer.The figure of the scream could be all of us,it's a vessel in that sense of receptivity and reflection,time has not diminished the power of this really human and iconic painting.Another great video from you and the added bonus of looking at Munch's art with fresh eyes.(Matt)

You really couldn't know just how much I needed this today. The past couple of days have been very dark ones for my wife and myself, indeed. I can't tell you enough about how much I appreciate your work, especially because much of the rest of whatever is available on KZbin is just trash and mostly not worth watching. Again, thank you so very much for everything you share with us! Your taste in art is very similar to my own, and your videos often inspire much conversation between my wife and me. I hope everyone is doing well, and having a great day!

[@nerdiboy5128]

His art was personal, because it came from a complex slurry of feelings: Angst, Loneliness, Rejection, Depression, Wanting to be Loved, etc. It was also influenced by powerfully sad moments from his life, such as watching his mother die from Tuberculosis (TB), the constant dread he felt towards inheriting a mental condition that ran in his family, his own chronic illnesses, his father not supporting his son's interest in the arts by refusing to advance him money for his art supply fees (and destroying one of his paintings, probably a nude, in a fit of religious disgust at something so... sexual, being painted by his son), and other dark days that molded him into the melancholic fellow that he was, which translated to his work taking on a more morbid atmosphere and darker symbolism.

[@amandasshadow9605]

I love hearing about the lives of the artists. It does make seeing their art more meaningful. I know some artists say their art doesn't mean anything- like with my own art, but as a result of watching your videos, I'm slowly realizing that every creation does have a piece of the artist in it that does in fact mean something. I was looking at some of my old drawings yesterday thinking about this. Even in my drawings that I tell people have no meaning, I can now see that there is some sort of meaning in all of them. I just didn't realize this fact while creating them. Munch obviously painted what he felt, which is heartbreaking. I wish I could go back in time and hug him. As for another artist I'd love to see you do a video about, who I mentioned in a comment on I think the second part of your Francis Bacon videos, is Mark Ryden. He and his wife Marion Peck create the coolest imagery! Surreal and full of meaning...usually social or political commentary. At the time I suggested him, I didn't know if you'd covered him or not, but I now see you haven't. He's one of my favorite living artists. I actually didn't know he was married until the other day when I decided to really look into him. His wife creates very similar imagery to what he does. They're both brilliant artists and I love their brains! Has anyone else suggested them to you?

[@dragonskinavi]

Going by interpretations of the "Vampyr" painting, it seems to me that whatever people thought of it at the time or over the years reflect their own sadistic and dark subconscious fantasies, and NOT Munch's....for me the painting looks like a woman comforting him after a life-changing event, such as the death of someone close to them, or even his sister as you mentioned. As for the "I & I" painting, personally, I think it is a rather sweet representation of Munch's childhood memories...of the only ever girl who showed him affection despite his "weirdness". Even his face (though not cheerful) shows a sliver of the hope of being loved...which would fade away forever. The tree could represent their growing "love" and the house in the distance looks like somewhere he grew up in during less-harrowing times.....but alas, like everything and everyone else in his life, even this girl went away from him...leaving him utterly miserable and crestfallen.

Amazing video!! I haven't looked into Munch very much before but I love the works you show here - I'm not sure if I'm seeing too much, but with Evening on Kahl Johan Street and the Ashes painting, the trees look quite phallic? I think that may be part of the message (his mistress leaving him in the street when he thought they were meeting up.... with that giant looming broken trunk in the background, and the tormented couple in the woods surrounded by tall trees with strange root shapes as if they're caged - they're so distressed, but can't leave)? So interesting to look at.. I'm going to do some more research on him ! Thank you for sharing ‼️❤️

Wow. I really like your art work. At first I thought that it was done by one of the great masters. Amazing. Also , I like the video on Edvard Munch very much thanks for posting.

[@Foxiepawstotti]

The street scene resonates with me probably because I have Aspergers and feel like the character walking alone, in the opposite direction. It isn't always a lonely feeling as most times I prefer to be by myself and against the flow. It's really cold looking but again, coming from Aberdeen, Scotland, the coldness is familiar to me too. I love your videos as its always something interesting and thought provoking as I am well aware I don't always see things as others do, so it's nice to hear how you interpret these great paintings. I was always really good at interpretation of language which isn't common on the spectrum but, as I said, it's taken me years to interpret art as I often see it completely differently from most people and like particular paintings for unusual reasons. The Anxiety painting sums up the feelings of anxiety that I live with really eloquently. It puts a panic attack on paper and sums up the feeling of "otherness" coupled with the almost claustrophobic feeling of having too much going on around you, and it even gives a hint at the hypervigelance I feel during anxiety attacks. It makes me aware that I am not alone as Munch obviously suffered the same, or very similar symptoms as me.

The tree between the couple portrayed in "Eye in Eye" reminds me a lot of a Cherrytree. I could see it as a grown version of the one in "Separation". Still growing and one mayor branch having been cut off years ago. Still sporting a scar which will never recede, always visible for the protagonist on his quest for love. Altho, it fitting my interpretation... i also got to admit that the interpretation of the growing Cherrytree in "Separation" , would not have been my first guess. It reminds me a lot of an close-up of a heart. Showing and magnifying what lies beneath (or hidden) the golden hand with the red aura. Who knows... at least the timeline fits for the tree analogy.

[@bekahbabie]

Besides The Scream I’ve never seen any of these before and I’m not good at interpreting art, but at first glance (in my case at least) Separation just looks like a depiction of Edvard Munch’s early childhood, specifically right after his mother died. For example, the golden woman could be the spirit of his mother as she departs (separates) from them and this world. The man could be his father, who would have been both mourning his wife and dealing with the mental illnesses he supposedly had and would therefore look pretty bleak and lifeless. Finally, when I see the “plant” in front of the man I don’t really see a regular plant, instead I immediately assumed it was Edvard Munch and his sister who were both children at the time. The left side of the “plant” could be Edvard and the right could be his sister when she was still alive. The reason they’re only vaguely outlined and filled in with a deep red and scraggly brambles could be because it represents how he (and possibly his sister too) felt at the time of their mother’s death. They’re undefined blobs because they, as children who just lost their mother and are left in the care of their mentally ill father, feel incredibly unstable and without a solid form to hold their shape. They could be deep red to symbolize intense pain and anguish. The brambles in/on them could symbolize the sense of wilting they felt at the loss of their main source of nurturing. Also, note that if that “plant” really is Edvard Munch and his sister, the fact that the man (their father) doesn’t seem to be comforting them or even looking at them, and instead only focusing himself as seen by him clutching his chest. Anyways, that’s my amateur take on it! Could be completely wrong but that’s the vibe I instinctively got from it, especially after hearing his backstory. 🤷‍♀️
